商品描述

This concise and interdisciplinary open access volume explores the imperative of social policy reform in Sub-Saharan Africa and the potential nature of such a reform. Its chapters study social policy changes that have been made before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and those that need to be made towards better protecting individuals, families, and communities against exposure to insecurity, poverty, and other vulnerabilities throughout their lifecycle. As argued, for this to happen, the state needs to play a pivotal role in building harmonised and coordinated social policy systems. The chapters also stress the need for a holistic social policy reform that spans key areas including health, education, disability, gender, and migration policies. Besides this, the volume considers the role of automatic stabilisers and novel issues such as the impact of social media. Finally, the volume draws our attention to the respective roles of state actors, national non-state actors, and transnational actors.

這本簡明且跨學科的開放存取書籍探討了撒哈拉以南非洲社會政策改革的必要性及其潛在性質。各章節研究了在COVID-19疫情之前和期間所做的社會政策變更，以及為了更好地保護個人、家庭和社區免受不安全、貧困及其他脆弱性影響所需進行的變更。正如所論述的，為了實現這一目標，國家需要在建立協調一致的社會政策系統中發揮關鍵作用。各章節還強調了需要進行涵蓋健康、教育、殘疾、性別和移民政策等關鍵領域的整體社會政策改革。此外，本書考慮了自動穩定器的角色以及社交媒體等新興議題的影響。最後，本書引起我們對國家行為者、國家非行為者和跨國行為者各自角色的關注。
